First.. Ebates has double cash back at 500 stores.. seriously, go sign up NOW and use Ebates every time you shop!

Monkeys & Thanksgiving

 

This weekend has been a crazy busy one.. it’s the holiday season which means I pull long hours working on orders for my stationery business.

I get up early and I go to bed late. It makes for long days in first grade! My inspiration is knowing that Thanksgiving break is next week.. yippie!

Believe it or not- I walked out of school on Friday with NOTHING! My lesson plans are done, my papers are graded, my room was cleaned, and it felt good.

I look forward to having an organized week. My daily drawers are stocked with each day’s papers already run and ready to go!

36319

So, between working on orders this weekend- I finally printed and laminated my monkey unit!

I usually do monkeys in January.

36320

I have to finish up working on my recording sheets and then it will be ready.. stay tuned.

Do you do a monkey unit?

36321

Here is a Thanksgiving number word paper I made last week I thought I would share- my kids have taken off learning and knowing how to read number words!

Those cute adorable graphics are by kpm doodles! Seriously.. she rocks!

You can download below

Thanksgiving Number Word Paper

Have a great Thanksgiving week at school! I am thankful for my little first graders who I truly enjoy .. even on a Monday morning when I want to be at home in my bed.

Time is scootin’ by

 

November 10th? Really?

012How in the WORLD did we get this far into the school year?

014

I mean.. we have turkeys on the bulletin board…

013

Turkey and Thanksgiving books out on the sharing table…

and we are doing Thanksgiving centers but I honestly feel like it is still August. Time is scootin’ on by.. and I can not get caught up..

Can I get an AMEN?

001

This week we are working on the Thankgiving centers that I have for sell on Teachers Pay Teachers. The number words above are for the most part.. too easy. {guess that proves that we really are not in August anymore!}

002

Tally marks are a breeze for about 3/4 of my class- the other 1/4 have a hard time jumping from 5’s to 1’s.

006

Even and Odd??

They got it!

This center is excellent practice for them! Lots of team work and busy minds working at the “blue pocket chart”.

017

Nothing I love more.. kids working with clipboard in their lap.

021

We have spelled Thanksgiving no less than 20 times this week.. they don’t know it but it will be their bonus word on their spelling test tomorrow.

024

This center has been fun for them this week. This is the first time this year they have glued anything on a sentence strip- so they think they hit the jackpot with them!


I also want to mention that I partnered up with some fabulous friends to host a Gobble Up Some Goodies giveaway. You can check it out on Mrs. Freshwaters blog.
